AND PUMP
The hand pump (2) is used to pressurise oil for emergency movements made necessary by
any breakdown of the main hydraulic system.
The hand pump has a manual diverter (1) used to select whether to control the two right sta‑
bilisers (Position A) or to control the two left stabilisers and the aerial part of the structure
(Position B).
See paragraph “Emergency manoeuvres”.

trical system being powered.
